    Blizzard Announces Diablo 2: Resurrected

    Even though I suppose it's in a different class than D2, folks can get Titan Quest + the first expansion on Steam for free at the moment. I think it lasts until the 30th, but it's folks' to keep once they add it to their collection....I remember playing the hell out of that game too.

    Need replacement for Seasonic TX-850 with better OCP for 3090

    Fortron/Source. At one point, they were also known as Sparkle. They were great back in the Thunderbird/socket 462 era...Then largely moved back to mediocrity (even if it's just lack of marketing) once everything started going dual rail 12v. Doubt you could say that they're bad, necessarily...

    Beware of Exploding Gigabyte PSU's being Dumped by Newegg in Forced Bundles

    Looks like Deer could be : (a)Still in business, and also, (b)somehow managed to get other OEMs to relabel their PSU units? Joking, of course. But 300000000 [H]coins to anyone who notices/remembers the reference.

    Crucial Ballistix 3600 CL16, is there a catch?

    Back around the days of their DDR-2 offerings, I had a couple of their DDR1066 sticks, which went bad after a year or two; trying to get them RMA'd was akin to pulling teeth, to say the least. I seem to recall they might have required a little more voltage than others - Possibly bad bins? Has...

    Sony: Would someone please think of the children!

    I wonder how many folks still go back to the Super Bowl halftime show that showed a scant half-seconds shot of titty and howl that their children are still scarred permanently by that moment, lol!

    Sony: Would someone please think of the children!

    And Libertarians or Republicans aren't? I'd imagine that quite a few of them see the left's 'deluded oppression' to your reference, as some kind of Ayn Randian wet dream they've been waiting for since the 1800's, just saying! Is that a statement? Hardly. Simply an unproven theory.

    IT Resume Thread

    What would be some advice for those looking to switch fields into IT-related fields from something else? My field's been in advertising and marketing, I'm looking to switch since the industry I was in for 20+ years is pretty small, and continuing to shrink; I got laid off at the end of...

    Police Mistake Cryptocurrency Miner for Marijuana Farm

    It depends how nice the property looks, or if the local PD captain thinks they can make some quick bank off of it. They might snuffle at the media after the fact, and say, "we are conducting an investigation with internal affairs to see exactly what happened here", but at the same time they'll...

    Battlefield V Microtransactions Coming January 2019

    Nonsense. It just becomes more amusing to see how much further it could be kicked by the consumer afterwards.

    Starwood Allegedly Had A Chance to Find Hackers in 2015

    You're reaching a little bit - I was actually looking at tying it together with the Equifax breach, actually. And we can see where that went. If it isn't getting tied up by an arbitration board, (where the company wins nearly every time) lawyers are the only ones getting rich in a class suit...

    Starwood Allegedly Had A Chance to Find Hackers in 2015

    Where Acting Director of Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Mick Mulvaney will prominently, and arrogantly scream at the top of his lungs, "SUCK MY ASS OUT WITH JELLY AND SYRUP, BITCHES!" before the case (not so) mysteriously disappears about as (again, not quite so) mysteriously as the...

    Adobe Issues Yet Another Emergency Flash Update

    It will be partying with roaches once the nukes take out everything else. Oh, that's before Keith Richards wakes up.

    New Bill Would Fine Robocallers Up to $10,000 per Call

    They want to see if there's a "live" number for them to spam incessantly. Kind of the same principle as having a firewall set to "REJECT" packets....That simply tells a hacker/phisher that there's SOMETHING at the IP they were pinging/fingering. (which is why the smart thing to do is simply...

    Chicago Gamers Will Have to Pay an Extra Tax on PlayStation Store Purchases Soon

    Except, the soda tax got repealed 8-10 weeks (or so) after it started. Sure, Crook County board was.....Not happy about this. Lots of the red light cameras have also gone bye-bye. Even the "surge" pricing for parking meters around Cubs stadium have also gone away. This one, was more that they...
